Bug Description
The su-to-root script has a limited selection of "known" su(1)/sudo(1) front-ends.
A missing front-end is lxqt-sudo(1), i.e., lxsudo(1) and lxsu(1), which would seem
to be a "natural fix" for LXqt as used by Lubuntu 18.10 (cosmic).

CORRECTION: Apologies, I just realised (when attempting to modify su-to-root)
that lxsudo(1) & friends can only become superuser "root"; an arbitrary user
is not supported. Despite the name, su-to-root can become an arbitrary user;
i.e., it is not restricted to superuser "root". Hence, at least in Cosmic,
su-to-root "cannot" use lxsudo &tc.
